Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Probable Sons
Being a confirmed bachelor, Sir Edward Wentworth is horrified when his young orphaned niece arrives. Yet gradually over the coming months he becomes very fond of Milly, as he listens to her bright chatter about her life at his house and the people she meets, particularly the Maxwells who live in the forest. Through Milly's complete trust in God, Sir Edward is made aware of how far he has grown away from Christianity, and he reflects on this further when recovering from an accident. Milly's favourite story is that of the Prodigal Son, which is given special meaning by the return of the Maxwells' missing son. When Sir Edward nearly loses Milly forever, he realises that he has the courage to turn away from his previous life, and is himself a Prodigal Son.

This book was disappointing. I was very glad it was short. I appreciated the moral the author was trying to put into the story but it was so sappy. Uncle Edward is, I thought, overly stiff. And Millie. Purfect, never does anything truly wrong, is always repentant and always cares about everything; Milie. If you didn't catch the sarcasm; I thought MIllie was way overly perfect. I know there are really nice kids out there, but all kids have their bad days. I wished Millie had been more relatable,Such a sweet book, loved by my family and me! I love Amy Le Feuvre's books!
Second reading of this and my kids love it!
This was a sweet story, very typical of its time, with an innocent charming orphan thawing the heart of her grouchy guardian. The theme of the prodigal son however gave it an evangelistic emphasis. The prodigal son is one of my favourite Bible stories, and I thought it was neatly incorporated into the book. Despite being a classic, this story is still readable for modern kids, especially those who enjoy historical or Christian fiction. I listened to the Librivox audiobook which was very ably
A pleasant read, but nothing more.
After reading another book tonight, with a disappointing ending, I wanted something short and pleasant. I've been meaning to read this for years, but waited until I could get an unabridged copy (one not rewritten by Lamplighter!) I read it in just half an hour, but it was wonderful! I highly recommend it.This is the third Amy le Feuvre book I've read, and so far she never disappoints. There are always wonderful Christian values and endearing children and happy endings. What more could improve
A sweet and wholesome read.This book is a sweet wholesome read about a sweet little girl who comes to live with her uncle. It is based around the bible story of 'the probable son'. I would recommend this book to young children, though I still find it an enjoyable read myself.
